Sound and Character of the Vintage German EQ

Antelope Audio describes NEU-PEV as modeled after a rare broadcast equalizer from the 1960s. The developer says the original was known for creamy highs and a tight, punchy low end.

The plugin is built around a fixed-Q design and a musical gain response. Antelope Audio states that its inductors and Haufe transformers were modeled to reproduce the smooth frequency response of the hardware original, which the developer says is why it became a staple in broadcast and mastering facilities.

Three-Band Layout and Typical Uses

NEU-PEV provides a low-shelf, a high-shelf and a mid-band with selectable frequencies. The layout is simple, so the EQ is best suited to broad tonal shaping instead of surgical cuts.

Antelope Audio positions the plugin for adding body to vocals, thickness to guitars, and weight or presence to the mix bus.
